Unknown Visitor

What a waste of a great subject on such a poorly executed movie. This could have been the next Paranormal Activity, except the writer/director made such irrational choices for the characters, and included such outlandishly stupid circumstances, that the entire movie comes across like a sketch comedy spoof of what could have been a terrifying, very relatable horror movie. My only hope is that another horror movie based around the concept of a doorbell camera is still a possibility despite the existence of this movie. I think it's worthy of another shot by another filmmaker who has the talent to make something good of it.

The major thing I had against this movie is the number of continuity missteps. The water bottle disappearing then reappearing, the sandwich disappearing and reappearing, the bottle of bleach disappearing and reappearing. I dont know if these are a sloppy job of production and editing crew or if there is something that the director was trying to add some more mystery, a la Kubrik in The Shining, but he is no Kubrik and he does not have the credits to his name to think that he is the skill of Kubrik. The other thing is the whole "found footage" genre. It is so overplayed. Any kid with a cheap camera can make some footage and call it a movie. "Found footage" was cool in the 2000's but in the 2020's it has over played.

On a better note, I think the two stars, Jason Scarborough and Brittany Dunk, were well acted and their performance should not be counted against the shoddy production job. Given a competent production crew it would have added a few more stars.

Not a bad short,but has alot of continuity issues...like the sandwich and water on the table, it takes away from the scenes when it appears and disappears at will...

LOL me and my oldest son could not help but laugh. Its an awesome short amateur film.. I bet it would be more awesome as a play.

Super low budget, bad acting, not scary (I think I jumped once!), odd story... I liked the idea though!
